Nataka Karnataka Rangayana has made a big name in Indian theatre repertory. It has 31 years of experience and has done a lot of experiments. Now it is experimenting on staging the theatrical form of noted Kannada Novelist Dr. S.L. Bhyrappa’s greatest work ‘Parva’ written in 1979. Preparations are on to make this a milestone in the history of Indian theatre. Despite his busy schedule, Rangayana Director Addanda C. Cariappa spoke to Star of Mysore on how he got the idea of bringing ‘Parva’, one of Dr. Bhyrappa’s widely debated and popular work, into theatrical form and how to take it Pan India. Excerpts.—Ed
